“Leading companies are getting more sophisticated in their search for higher levels of marketing effectiveness. At Resonate, we’re building the data-driven tools to help them achieve that,” said Bryan Gernert, CEO and Co-Founder of Resonate. “Pat LaPointe has been one of the real leaders in the use of data to improve marketing ROI. He brings a keen understanding of the financial value of building strong brands and great depth of expertise in improving marketing effectiveness, both of which will be invaluable assets to our clients as we help brands better understand, connect with, and engage their customers.”

“Resonate has an impressive platform that brings together a unique combination of online behavior, marketers’ first-party data, dozens of leading third-party sources, and an innovative approach to quantitative research. We align all this data and extract the insights to make it easy for marketers to execute dynamic segmentation and message targeting much faster and less expensively than traditional research, and achieve much better results in programmatic advertising than popular demo- or behavioral-based methods alone,” said LaPointe. “For the first time, marketers can align very targeted brand messages to true individual motivations and behaviors to optimize the brand fit with the customer and update that fit every day if necessary.”

Prior to Resonate, LaPointe was EVP for MarketShare, a leader in cross channel measurement and optimization.
